      abstract = {This book argues that videogames address contemporary,  middle-class anxieties about poverty in the United States.  The early chapters consider gaming as a modern form of  slumming and explore the ways in which titles like The  Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and World of Warcraft thematize  poverty. The argument turns to the field of literary  studies to identify analytical frameworks for addressing  and understanding these themes. Throughout, the book  considers how the academic area of inquiry known as game  studies has developed over time, and makes use of such  scholarship to present, frame, and value its major claims  and findings. In its conclusion, the book models how  poverty themes might be identified and associated for the  purpose of gaining greater insights into how games can  shape, and also be shaped by, the players economic  expectations. Adam Crowley is Professor of English and  Director of Composition at Husson University, USA. He is  author of The Wealth of Virtual Nations: Videogame  Currencies (2017). .},
